There is one word that springs to mind when scouring the internet looking for an editor: Trust. Who can I trust? This is your baby after all, and now you’re about to hand it to a total stranger. Scary, scary indeed. My experience with BubbleCow went like this. 1. Was recommended to check BubbleCow through a trusted homepage. 2. Sent in a sample for a sample edit. (This was on Saturday). 3. Received the edited sample back on Monday. (Was very pleased with the result). 4. Sent in my whole manuscript. 5. Gary replied the same day and we did the transaction, with other words I paid for the service. 6. Gary updated me on the things to come and went to work. 7. Around 28 business day later (that’s Monday to Friday), I received the edited sample. The verdict? Not only was the feedback and edit clean and honest, but it highlighted certain aspect of my novel I’d “pushed” away, or ignored, because I wasn’t sure how to tackle them then. Gary pointed out the flaws and showed me how to fix them, and from there it was all fun and games. Highly recommended. Leave your fears aside. This went very well. Thanks Gary. Thanks BubbleCow!
